Having lost the last two Allianz Meath Cumann Na mBunscol Division 1 camogie finals, Baconstown finally got their hands on the cup for the first time with this convincing victory over Ratoath SNS at Lomans Park.

After the game a very proud Meath senior camogie captain Claire Coffey, a former pupil at Baconstown NS, presented the Division 1 Cup to joint captains Kerri Cole and Becky Forde.
